The past couple of days I spent on Pinterest cleaning out my boards. I am happy to say my likes are down from 1200 to under 100, my "get in the closet" pins are down from 450 to under 200, "home" is down from 350 to something...etc...and I feel so much lighter! Isn't it weird how something online like Pinterest can stress you out without realizing it?

Tim and I went to a baseball game a while back with my employer...have you had one of these ropes before? They're terrible. 

Tim and I love living on Lake Michigan. We love taking walks.

We also love acting stupid. :)

Bath time with Micah!

 He's so stinkin' cute.

I tried posting a video of me doing a so called flip, but it didn't work for some reason...Tim's flips are much cooler anyway.

 I swear, this is the cutest moomoo I've ever seen.

My second time ever playing golf. My employer thought it'd be fun to play 18 holes...it took us 5 hours. Never again. Maybe 9 holes.

Can you tell he's played before? I look pretty stupid when I golf.

Came home to this in the mail. I love days like this :) And I've read both the books since getting them. "Eat, Pray, Love" is a GREAT book. I didn't care for the movie the first time I watched it; but because I liked the book so much, I ended up buying the movie. I watched it for a second time, and it made much more sense after reading the book. I highly recommend it. "My Life in France" is a also great read. Much of it was in the movie "Julie & Julia", which I also recommend :)

Random much? :) Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

farmer's market

My parent's have a HUGE garden, and they sell many of their produce at the farmer's market on Saturdays. I went down there a couple weeks ago to see what the market had :)

 nasturtium flowers and leaves (edible flowers) and radish pods

 All different kinds of lettuce/kale

 Cherries :)

 snap peas

 My mom and all her delicious food :)

 so good

 I bought some delicious fruit :)

 and proceeded to make some yummy waffles...which my brother loved :)

Is there anything better than bacon? I think not.

Almost our entire town was without power for a day...wait, let me say that again, it was the HOTTEST day this summer (at least it felt like it) when we were without power. I got home from work and STUPIDLY decided to work out-I practically died I was so hot after working out for about 15 minutes. I seriously had sweat dripping from practically every pore of my body. It was disgusting. Anyway, Tim and I realized there was no possible way we could stay home, so we decided to drive to the next town over for dinner. And some air conditioning. 

 Yum yum! They had trivia cards at each table-SMART! What a good idea to keep people's minds off of the wait for food!

 We drove past the library, and they were having a FREE book sale! Nothin' better than a FREE book sale...well, except for finding books you actually want haha. It must have been a couple days into the sale because there was absolutely nothing good. Oh well.

 We ended the night out on the deck. It was great. Our power finally turned on at about 12:30am.

 Love watchin' him play. He's so good.

 Some friends invited us to hang out with them at the beach. It was so much fun! And how cute is their son?

Mr. Muscle Man ;) Seriously. Look at his muscles. What the heck. Why when I work out all the time does nothing happen to my arms, and yet he can barely work out and look like that??? Not that I personally want to look like that, just more toned, but still. Not fair.

We then went to House of Flavors for ice cream :) Avery had to try each person's ice cream :)

We haven't had too many things planned this summer for fun, so it was nice actually getting out of the house :) I've still got plenty of activities to do and places to go on my list for this summer; considering it's August already, I think Tim and I need to get crackin'!

tulip festival

For my mom's birthday, my sister and I took her to the Tulip Festival in Holland. We had so much fun!

He wasn't interested in trying a pickle for the first time...

The flowers were beautiful, but only 1/4 of them were in bloom. I think if we had gone the week after, there would have been more flowers open. But it was still beautiful :)

We were walking around and stumbled on the end of what was the world's biggest cinnamon roll :)

Some of the tulips looked fake!

We found this big bunch of tulips as the sun was setting. This is unedited! So pretty.

We stopped for yogurt because it was getting kind of hot. Perfect way to cool off :)

We came across this super cute store. Slightly expensive, but cute nevertheless. I loved this sign :)

It was such a great day. Hopefully we'll make it a tradition.
